But that’s the thing, they’re getting in early enough before the real ATH Peak season is reached. They’re also getting not just 1-2 bitcoins a day, they’re getting thousands in. Also, THEY control marketing … and celebrities and influencers who will be paid in USD$ to promote the shit out of Bitcoin. When the Whales are happy with what they’ll get back, BAM…the late buyers are gonna be stuck holding the bag and knowing them…they’ll sell at a loss. Oh yeah, not to mention they’ll be in so much debt from leverage or taking out equity from their homes or credit cards to get in BTC hoping it’ll keep going up. Wealth transfer doesn’t happen for us normal people … it’s for the 1% to widen the gap. This is going to be a crypto crash for global economy. Be smart, sell out December 2025 to January 2026 and wait for opportunity.

Hmm. Interesting example to present BTC and its gains. Firstly, thank you for not being as hostile as others. That’s great. Secondly, anytime anyone compares “X” coins “gains” against Bitcoin it’s always going to end poorly for your you/your argument. These are different animals. No coin has the adoption rate that BTC does, nor the security, nor the number of quality devs. The comparison is ridiculous quite frankly. To be fair and Frank- KAS has been around since 2022 and has made very little traction at all in that time. Then around six months ago it started to gain some momentum and within the last three weeks has doubled in MC. Seemingly overnight given the past two years performance. It’s laughably being manipulated by VC’s/early entrants at this point. Basically zero traction for two years and then BAM! the price doubled within three weeks. Sure pal. That was ALL retail investing into this amazing project. Anyone investing in this will lose every dollar that they spend.

Best case, SOL continues its run and takes from ETH's MC. ETH is humbled and even deeply invested maxis start to jump ship. The weird illusion painted over Ethereum begins to fade, and retail realizes the tech and ecosystem is hot bullshit and always has been. Retail begins to see how institutional traders are manipulating retail throughout the market, preying on the exit liquidity, and the same gambling can be had with better tech! Mass exodus continues toward SOL and other moon boy hyped nonsense until... BAM, the inevitable outage happens. That, and retail again realizes the propaganda its chasing is leading them astray. SOL is most certainly not what it claims to be and will never be able to scale into the future. And ultimately, retail looks to Algorand. ALGO works the way it says it does. It is being adopted (RWA) in big ways despite being ignored by retail and its influencers. 80% of total supply is in circulation (8 out of 10 billion fixed supply). INSTANT finality, 3.3 second blocks, dirt cheap tx fees, NO FAILED TRANSACTIONS, no forking or double spending, and more smart contract throughput than SOL, ETH, and everything else on the market: https://np.reddit.com/r/algorand/s/r7uvGq2fvk And a much, much smaller market cap to run with. That stuff is factual. No inflated or fake metrics. ALGO is the real deal and continues to do the things that will bring the masses and bridge crypto to tradfi. Eventually the FUD will get quieter and the other hype chains will be demoted. Keep milking the bullshit. ALGO will still be there waiting for you when you're done.

Just as the sentiment towards SOL did a 180, you know without a doubt that algorithmic stablecoin projects will come back in full force towards the end of this cycle. All it takes is FOMO outweighing that Fear threshold and BAM! who cares about the past.

>**FAILURE TO RESTRICT U.S. INVESTORS FROM ACCESSING BINANCE.COM** >The SEC’s complaint alleges that Zhao and Binance created BAM Management and BAM Trading in September 2019 as part of an elaborate scheme to evade U.S. federal securities laws by claiming that BAM Trading operated the Binance.US platform independently and that U.S. customers were not able to use the Binance.com platform. The complaint alleges that, in reality, Zhao and Binance maintained substantial involvement and control of the U.S. entity and that, behind the scenes, Zhao directed Binance to allow and conceal many high-value U.S. customers’ continued access to Binance.com. In one instance, the Binance chief compliance officer messaged a colleague that, “[w]e are operating as a fking unlicensed securities exchange in the USA bro.” I would say that one carries weight, I believe this could be related to the sanctions avoidance they admitted guilt to. >**MISLEADING INVESTORS** >According to the SEC’s complaint, BAM Trading and BAM Management misled Binance.US customers and equity investors concerning the existence and adequacy of market surveillance and controls to detect and prevent manipulative trading on the Binance.US platform’s crypto asset trading volumes. The complaint further alleges that the strategic and targeted wash trading largely perpetrated by the Binance.US platform’s primary undisclosed “market making” trading firm Sigma Chain, also owned by Zhao, demonstrates the falsity of statements BAM Trading made about its market surveillance and controls.

“In a post, Zhao shared a screenshot of the report and said that the outlet “got the direction wrong.” According to the Binance CEO, the loan was the other way around. He explained in the tweet that he was the one who gave BAM Management $250 million as a loan and claimed that he had not yet taken it back. The Binance executive also implied in the tweet that there is lot of “wrong information” in the report.” Fud force is strong these days

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has refuted a recent report claiming that he took a $250 million loan from BAM Management. The report misinterpreted court documents related to a lawsuit between Binance and the SEC, stating that BAM Management issued the loan to Zhao. However, Zhao clarified that he was the one who gave BAM Management the loan and has not yet taken it back. The SEC has been struggling to extract information from Binance and Binance.US during the lawsuit. A judge recently stated that he was not inclined to allow further inspection at the moment. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

>In a Monday court filing, the Securities and Exchange Commission laid into what it says is Binance.US’s "slow-rolled small productions of documents” and called for the court to order an inspection of the firm.

"In its latest filing regarding its motion to compel against BAM, the holding company for Binance.US, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has claimed that Ceffu, a wallet provider, is indeed “Binance-related.” This is in contradiction to claims made by Binance in earlier court documents."

"*More than two months later and despite repeated good faith attempts by the SEC to reach further compromise with BAM, the SEC finds itself essentially where it was when it first sought relief from the Court. BAM continues to refuse, even in light of the Consent Order, to provide anything beyond extremely limited information to ensure that BAM’s Customer Assets are not at the mercy of Defendants Binance Holdings Limited (Binance) and Changpeng Zhao, two persons who view themselves outside the reach of the Court*.” I know everybody is against the SEC and pro Binance here, but the behavior of Binance is definitely suspicious.

The SEC also raised concerns about customer assets falling under the control of Ceffu, a wallet custody software service owned by Binance Holdings Ltd.

How do you know this? As far as I can tell, Binance.US is a privately held DE corporation (BAM Trading Services Inc) - their corporate registration in California, until March of this year, said that their primary address was [a condo in Palo Alto, CA](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/611-Cowper-St-400-Palo-Alto-CA-94301/166731136_zpid/). They seem to have another Delaware corporation at the same address they're using in Florida - BAM Management Holdings Inc. - whose address was the same condo until recently. It doesn't seem like their ownership is at all visible to the public - so I'm curious how you can be so confident there's no relationship with the other entity that coincidentally uses the same name and logo.

Binance seeks a court order against the SEC, claiming excessive info requests. BAM Trading argues they've provided sufficient data and wants to limit SEC actions, including fewer depositions. Binance and SEC haven't responded. In June, Binance and CEO were sued for deceptive practices and misleading investors.

-raiwist

>BAM stated that the SEC wants it to produce “all communications” from Nov. 2022 from at least six employees and executives. According to the firm, this request cover dozens of topics—many of which have nothing to do with customer assets. Besides that, the financial regulator wants to depose at least six of its employees and officers, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer. I'm torn because I don't like the idea of the SEC being able to pry to too great an extent but it does make you wonder what their suspicions are that they are making such requests. What is Binance potentially guilty of?

1) I made sure the keys I created were READ ONLY. When you create a key with Binance, it is automatically Read Only. Once you create the key, you can go in and purposely change it to give it permissions. I have NEVER done that. Even if that did happen by a tiny minuscule chance, after 90 days, Binance changes it to read only from trade permissions if the apps are not used. I didn’t use the apps since March and we are now in august. It is more than 90 days. 2) I don’t use public WiFi to access my crypto. 3) this is why I find it really fishy. I saw another post about someone being hacked for $20k last year who also only had read only API’s.

I thought I was used to it and then BAM! Brain fart and it takes me a moment to realize what I'm looking at.

fairysquirt

Prl fuged me up, dev rugged moment of Kucoin listing, and they launched some recovery project and issued holders but I heard about it late, can't remember... it looked so promising too. Also UNIFY coin created an exchange on site, I deposited to it and the dev let the website die, nobody used the site and it had bugs so I lost them all in that trap. OH C-Cex this russian exchange... I deposited to buy XVG as you know the arbitrage trap of "wow I found a life hack" turns immediately into "OH... that's why the price difference, i'm stuck"... where I tried to withdraw and I got some garbled english pop up like "trying too soon to withdraw"... then the guy running the site went on a holiday... (with XVG depegged and offline) comes back weeks later said "oh there's been a hack all XVG gone, but it okay" proceeded to issue everyone a baseless XVG refund token, people traded it for a fraction of real XVG. Real XVG went 300% after that and I was stuck in some scam exchange. Coinmarkets exchange got DDoS to death. I'm still waiting for Grant Thornton to stop leeching my crypto funds from Cryptopia NZ "hack".. only really ETH was stolen I remember some dev in chat bragging about how unsecure Ethereum network is... the BAM, everything up for liquidation. I've heard some pretty valid rumors that Cryptopia team then sold a bunch of everyone's shitcoins on Hitbtc, to then launch and list their own project CennZ Centrality AI, which incidentally still has a marketcap of 14m after dropping 96% value from launch. I almost got caught up in the ForkDelta (EtherDelta) expoit. Was in Bitconnect. Oh here's a funny one... this shit token "SMEG Mars" a token for testicular cancer, was all "we are rug proof fully audited" part true... so I buy some, go in the LP, over night the DEV apparently issues that night an announcement "don't worry if you see the LP change i'm just checking something", he pulls ALL value from LP, then launches a new contract, changes the website contract to the new one and says "new contract, airdrop to all holders". He air drops the new token (not audited), to all people who had SMEG in their wallets... but nobody who was in the LP (me). I tell them in discord, and get absolutely slandered by all the mooner shillers hoping zombies. The guy literally rugged over night. The salt in that wound is a week later they were advertising in Times Square with the money they'd just stolen from people like me. Oh I didn't get caught in this one but always found it interesting if we talking about OGs remembering stuff ahha.. Bitbean hack. Bitbean was this coin with its own wallet and I think POS like most alts were back in the day (not tokens on other networks, just forks of bitcore stuff)... and they were really one of the first to go retail, they had prepaid cards you could buy in grocery shops with Bitbean coin on them, looked really spiff, tidy, solid job on them, they worked.. you could buy a physical card, send it to a friend and they could redeem it (or tell if it was tampered)... anyway so one of the Devs forces a checkpoint on the blockchain, everyone's wallets go offline while he proceeds to absolutely dump the hell out of it on every exchange (I think with fake tokens) idk the exact details but I sorta got how it worked back when I was into QT wallets. Someone did something similar to Mouse Coin, they blocked everyone withdrawing somehow (maybe so few nodes it could be messed with).. anyway with Mouse Coin, the staking was nuts, I literally staked so many into the quintillions, I had multiple wallets all brimming with them... we'd do give aways in Trollbox on Nova Exchange for fun, was fun to fund them. Anyway that died. But some devs revived it into Mic3, I had so many though I felt bad for the DIY open source kids trying to get it back to life, so I didn't end up swapping to the new project, I'd have owned most of supply lol and they seemed bogged down anyway. Nova Exchange I dearly miss (along with Cryptopia), true grass roots shit coin heavens... Dark Doge was born there e.g. XVG. So many no names made names for themselves. They had base pairs to Doge, which solved the decimal issue where you couldn't trade high supply shitcoins because they were below 1SAT value, or people would just flip them for 2SAT even if they really deserved to be worth 20SAT it couldn't break free of the traders buying for 1 selling for 2, so Doge solved that as a base pair. I've got like 50 more of these stories, but I think i'll leave it there.

That’s the trap they set to you, you see everything going to the moon and get greedy for more profits after you sold early once.. And then BAM! The bear comes, the coin goes 99% down and your 2x profits turn into a 90% loss

It is all in the marketing.... they will make it all nice and pretty on the outside till they hook you into the ecosystem... Then BAM!!! slam the door shut (and you haven't even pulled your fingers out yet....) Most people think it can never happen to them, that their ideas and speech aren't THAT non mainstream. You hear it all the time on the paypall forums.... "My non profit has a balance of 50K but not PayPal is holding all my funds and accusing me of something (they wont even tell me what)...."

Crypto is the odd thing where you think you're just collecting smooth love potions to feed your pokemon then BAM! you funded the north korean missile program.

I mean just look at the Fear & Greed index and how it fluctuates. It can be in extreme greed territory for months, and then a little bit of fud and BAM! We back in read after small price correction. 🤷‍♀️

I wanted to improve my financial situation. I had been using NiceHash for a while without knowing much about crypto and was already looking into various forms of investments. I figured, hey, might as well look deeper into crypto, so I invested and then ***immediately*** BAM we get the FTX situation. So I came into this subreddit and the rest is history

Lunamatic7

The most painful click of a mouse for me was in crypto a few years ago. I had invested in Matic quite early in the bull run so I was doing quite well. I was finding out ways to store and gain interest on my Matic. I found UniLend finance. Similar format others I was using at the time there was a way to store crypto and receive regular rewards but I remember with UniLend the tabs were worded a little different this time, but I stupidly just dove in, clicked the reward tab, invested my Matic and then BAM. I knew I done something wrong. Heart stopped. Account was 0… That ‘reward’ tab should of really said ‘donate’ to UniLend. Messaged the whole team, posted on their pages for weeks. To no avail. Will always invest but I don’t plan to get too deep in crypto next time round.

>*Binance money processor Advcash looks like a Russian laundering operation* >The collapse of Silvergate, Signature, and Silicon Valley Banks left the crypto industry reeling with countless Twitter Spaces framing the event as a deliberate “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.” >For Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, it turned out to be a particularly tight situation, despite CEO Changpeng Zhao’s (CZ) cryptic assurance that “Binance do [sic] not have asset losses at Silvergate.” >Binance has spent much of its lifespan as a sort of pirate radio operation, never touching dry land — or at least a scrupulous jurisdiction. This, understandably, has taken something of a toll on its ability to exchange between fiat and crypto. >The Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) case against Binance examined the corporate entities that CZ had used to manage its money in those now-failed banks, particularly Key Vision, Merit Peak, and Sigma Vision. Indeed, the SEC’s case clearly depended on revelations of those chains of ownership that only the banks’ failures would reveal. >The SEC had also cinched off Binance’s stablecoin by targeting Paxos, the New York-regulated company that had managed BNB and given it legitimacy. >For Binance, which has fought hard to establish those fuel lines of fiat funding, it’s back to square one. >By now, everyone knows that Binance is also scrambling to avoid or, more likely, brace for a legal hit from the Department of Justice (DoJ). Executives are scurrying to leave what looks like a sinking ship. >But what nobody knows is what those ‘payments processors’ do. This is by design. >Here’s Protos’ deep dive into one. >**Intro to Advcash** Advcash may just be the biggest crypto company you’ve never heard of. >Total volumes are impossible to determine without either transparency or legal force majeure. After reaching out to several employees, the CEO, and several former owners of Advcash, Protos received one response via email from somebody calling themselves “Andrew K.” >“I think it’s pretty clear that you are yet another journalist on a mission to accuse us of various things, so helping you with it doesn’t really make a lot of sense,” wrote Andrew K. >Protos sadly lacks power of subpoena. But based on the information that’s available, the operation is a veritable parade of money laundering red flags — from its thinly disguised origins in Russia and links to the government, to its acceptance of anonymous cash deposits worldwide and its ghost staff. >It is, in other words, a crypto payments processor. There are forms of payments processing of greater or lesser legitimacy. Payments processors like Advcash play a central role in the crypto economy, but that role demands anonymity relative to the public companies they serve. >In one email exchange, the SEC questioned Binance about the role of such processors. The response was revealing: >“Payment processors have relationships with various bank partners. The bank partners maintain bank accounts for the payment processors, and the assets of the payment processor’s customers are maintained in these accounts (i.e., the assets BAM or its customer sends to a payment processor are deposited with a banking partner). These types of arrangements are commonly referred to as ‘bank-fintech partnerships.’ i.e., they set up bank accounts the company themselves can’t get.” >In other words, a bank that wouldn’t onboard a client with a familiar name like Binance is tricked into doing so by a third party with an unknown name, much as CZ kept a galaxy of accounts at Silvergate and Signature under his control with plausible deniability thanks to LLCs nobody had heard of. >**Who does Advcash work with?** While Advcash may be something of an unknown, its client list is certainly more familiar — and extensive. The firm has advertised Binance, Huobi, Kucoin, OKex, and Kraken as partner firms, and all of them apart from Kraken have released public statements confirming those relationships. >Representatives for Kraken haven’t yet responded to a request for confirmation or denial of a business relationship. >Since Protos began its investigation and contacted the relevant firms, the headlining exchanges have moved down Advcash’s home page. None have responded to requests for comment. >Bitcoin wallets that Protos has identified as under Advcash’s control have also sent funds to Coinbase and Bitfinex wallets. >In addition to familiar global names, Advcash provides services to the heavy hitters of Eastern Europe, like EXMO and WhiteBit, who somehow continue to offer services in hryvnya despite the National Bank of Ukraine barring crypto-to-hryvnya conversion as part of wartime capital controls. >The relationship to Binance is, these days, particularly special, as Advcash offers crypto services on its platform by linking with Binance accounts. >Analytics from Similarweb show that two domains associated with Binance are the most commonly visited sites by visitors to Advcash. >Binance, for its part, reciprocates, advising users to go to Advcash as a way of getting fiat currency out of the crypto exchange. And the SEC has taken notice, including a screenshot of this guidance in the commission’s almanac of evidence in its case against Binance. >**Where is Advcash based?** Advcash’s official corporate registration is in Belize, but there’s no reason to believe that the firm has any proper base there. >Indeed, the bulk of its business operations are in the former Soviet Union. Data from SimilarWeb shows Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Israel, and Venezuela as the biggest contributors to Advcash’s site traffic. A quick scan of LinkedIn also shows the vast majority of declared employees located in Russia and Ukraine. >The number is, however, very small. This could be due to the firm’s overall policy of opacity. It could also be due to LinkedIn being blocked by the Roskomnadzor, the Russian internet censorship agency. >An older version of Advcash’s site includes a helpline number with a Russian area code. It was ultimately replaced by a line with a Belizean number — but with operational hours that line up with the Moscow Standard Time work day, which is nine hours off from Belize. >The website no longer advertises helplines. Both old numbers were unresponsive when Protos tried them. >A major benefit of Belizean registration is that the country’s corporate registry includes almost no identifying information about the firm beyond its existence. Similarly, the firm’s license with the Belize Financial Services Commission, which registers money transmitters, features almost no information. >This is one of many reasons that Belize remains on the US State Department’s list of major money laundering jurisdictions. >Despite the absence of any firm resembling Advcash in name in the Russian corporate registry, older versions of the Advcash site were available and advertised relationships with major Russian banks. Its laundry list of partners included online-based Yandex Money and PrivatBank, and traditional giants AlfaBank and Sberbank, which fell under US sanctions last April. >Advcash’s early linkages to the crypto world (seen through old Russian guides on VKontakte) were almost exclusively Russian or Chinese payments services. Notably, those included BTC-e, the crypto exchange that was revealed to be a money laundering organization. >BTC-e CEO Aleksandr Vinnik is currently sitting in jail following a lengthy extradition battle between Russia and the US. He’s reportedly angling to be included in a prisoner swap with jailed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich. >Old Russian-language video tutorials on VKontakte show that Advcash continued serving BTC-e well after Vinnik’s original arrest and continued working with successor exchange, WEX, until that too fell apart upon revelations that it was helping fund Russia-backed militants in Eastern Ukraine. It also worked with the Russian FSB itself. What is Advcash? Advcash says it doesn’t operate in the US but its official CEO, Yaacov Bitton, seems to hail from the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio and lives in Florida. Bitton didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment. Property records show Bitton as owning various homes in Miami-Dade and Seminole Counties up until around the time Advcash launched. He got divorced in Miami-Dade County in 2015. >Bitton got his start in the check cashing and payday loan business right out of college. In 2001, he alongside three relatives also working in finance became an agent on the Ohio-registered and Florida-operational World Cash Net, Inc. >Despite Yaacov Bitton’s largely offline existence, old tweets find him signing on as an adviser to NVB Channel, a Moscow-based pump-and-dump scheme, and asking whether the ICO for Bitconnect would be open for US citizens — the very day that massive Ponzi scheme collapsed. Its founder is now facing charges from the DoJ. >Protos has identified an extensive network of additional associated corporate registrations despite this opacity. >Advanced Cash Ltd. was registered in the United Kingdom until 2020. Adv Services LLC was formed in Washington State on August 29, 2011. The firm held a Washington State money transmitter license from August 2012 through July 2020 before being dissolved. >More recently, the same controllers are launching a crypto wallet under the name Adv2 via a Canadian entity by the name of Payean Finance Inc., which was registered at the end of 2021. >One registration in Gibraltar also remains active.

Lol, 24hr trading volume is up almost 2500% !! Gotta be said, I think it’s happening. I’m eyeing a Kraken listing and then BAM $10 MOON :)

KookyBaker5731

A recent WTF moment.. $300 into BAM turned to 2.6 ETH. Never sold. Got greedy and didn’t sell. Ultimately ended up with $145 profit. Better than nothing, but disregarding my gut instinct to sell got to me.

tldr; Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has been ordered by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to repatriate and maintain within the country all its U.S. customers' assets, ensuring Binance.US users can access funds while the exchange battles a lawsuit by federal regulators. The order requires BAM Trading Services Inc., BAM Management U.S. Holdings Inc., and the platform's CEO Changpeng Zhao to repatriate assets held on behalf of U.S. customers and facilitate customer withdrawals. The ruling from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia resolves an SEC request to freeze Binance's U.S. assets. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Binance.US has argued against the SEC's request for a temporary restraining order on the company, stating that all of the regulator's claims are invalid. Binance.US claimed that the SEC's motion is "riddled with mistakes" and omissions to inappropriately deem that BAM customer assets are "not secure." The crypto exchange's complaint about fully cooperating with the SEC echoed similar issues faced by its rivals that draw attention to the regulatory agency's failure to provide clarity. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

"Now since my sister was able to make profit and withdraw her funds, so she believes it to be legit." That's how they hook you in. Once you start putting a larger sum, BAM! It's too late. Remember, if it's too good to be true...it's probably a scam. Otherwise, everyone would be comfortable or rich. Also, don't put in more than what you're willing to lose.

From the [SEC complaint](https://www.sec.gov/files/litigation/complaints/2023/comp-pr2023-101.pdf) >One form of manipulative trading is called “wash trading.” In a wash trading scheme, a trader buys and sells the same asset between or among his or her own accounts in transactions lacking economic purpose. Wash trading is not arm’s length market activity and is not the result of market forces of supply and demand. Wash trading gives the artificial appearance of, among other things, increased trading volume, liquidity, and trading interest for the asset at issue. It may also artificially inflate the aggregate trading volume of the platform upon which the asset is being traded. > > As Zhao confirmed in April 2019 when commenting on a ranking of crypto asset platforms by trading volume: “CREDIBILITY is the most important asset for any exchange! If an exchange fakes their volumes, would you trust them with your funds?” > >But BAM Trading and BAM Management failed to implement controls to prevent manipulative trading on the Binance.US Platform that it falsely claimed to investors to have implemented, ***resulting in the exact “fake volumes” that Zhao decried in April 2019***. Returning to your original statement of, "I’ve never seen any evidence Binance fakes volume", here is the SEC explicitly saying that [Binance.US](https://Binance.US) faked volumes. They do this a couple paragraphs after defining wash trading.

Isekai_Dreamer

i hate to be the one to tell you, but they already do. people are already getting arrested for thought crimes. for example: Hentai. You can draw a line on a piece of paper and suddenly that is a crime worth 10 years of imprisonment. Because you MIGHT hurt a minor. Sex dolls. They're really heavy so ppl buy them lighter and smaller than regular humans. And BAM, they're now considered child sex dolls. Hell, even if they were, nobody got hurt. And studies show that people who own sex dolls commit WAY LESS crimes than a regular joe shmoe. But nuuu...you're going to prison because some cock sucking politician thinks it MAY harm children. but fucking REAL children, and grooming REAL children is A-OK because you have the lgbbq label.

From a comment above: Just to be clear here, the SEC is *not* seeking to freeze customer assets and prevent customer withdraws, and the SEC clearly and specifically says so. From [the proposed text of the freeze order](https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67474542/4/1/securities-and-exchange-commission-v-binance-holdings-limited/), for example, my bold for emphasis: \>... Defendant BAM Trading **may continue to transfer Customer Assets to support redemptions** of Customer Crypto Assets ... A lot of commenters are jumping to conclusions and getting this wrong. It would still be very wise for anyone to withdraw their assets, of course.

My understanding would be no, you would no longer be able to withdraw if they freeze all assets under Binance US / BAM

> For example, by 2021, at least $145 million was transferred from BAM Trading [i.e. Binance.us] to a Sigma Chain account, and another $45 million of funds were transferred from BAM Trading’s Trust Company B account to the Sigma Chain account. From this account, Sigma Chain spent $11 million to purchase a yacht. And: > From at least September 2019 until June 2022, Sigma Chain AG (“Sigma Chain”), a trading firm owned and controlled by Zhao, engaged in wash trading that artificially inflated the trading volume of crypto asset securities on the Binance.US Platform.

Adjusting to the Coindesk article, CZ owned 100% of "CPZ Holdings Limited," which owns 100% of "BAM Management Company Limited," which owns 81% of "BAM Management US Holdings Inc", which is the parent company to BAM Trading Services, which operates Binance.US. Good luck lawyers.

"The SEC’s complaint alleges that Zhao and Binance created BAM Management and BAM Trading in September 2019 as part of an elaborate scheme to evade U.S. federal securities laws by claiming that BAM Trading operated the Binance.US platform independently and that U.S. customers were not able to use the Binance.com platform. The complaint alleges that, in reality, Zhao and Binance maintained substantial involvement and control of the U.S. entity and that, behind the scenes, Zhao directed Binance to allow and conceal many high-value U.S. customers’ continued access to Binance.com. In one instance, the Binance chief compliance officer messaged a colleague that, “[w]e are operating as a fking unlicensed securities exchange in the USA bro.”

The claim here, that only Binance.US is being sued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, isn't true. The SEC is suing Binance international, Binance US, and Changpeng Zhao personally. From [the SEC press release](https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-101): >The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Binance Holdings Ltd. (“Binance”), which operates the largest crypto asset trading platform in the world, Binance.com; U.S.-based affiliate, BAM Trading Services Inc.

The SEC alleges that “First, Binance and BAM Trading, under Zhao’s leadership and control, have unlawfully offered three essential securities market functions—exchange, broker-dealer, and clearing agency—on the Binance Platforms without registering with the SEC. Acutely aware that U.S. law requires registration for these functions, Defendants nevertheless chose not to register, so they could evade the critical regulatory oversight designed to protect investors and markets.” ​​The SEC also claims Zhao and Binance were “intimately involved in directing BAM Trading’s U.S. business operations.”
